(4) DATA PROTECTION

4.2 The Parties agree that the Publisher is the data controller and Monetise is a data processor.

(5) OBLIGATIONS OF THE PUBLISHER

5.1 The Publisher shall be responsible for the content and operation of its website, displaying of links, ensuring the accuracy, completeness etc. of links/adverts/content and shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations (including, without limitation, the E-Privacy Directive 2002/58/EC, The Consumer Protection From Unfair Trading Regulations 2008, The Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002, The Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)) as are in force from time to time.

5.2 If the Publisher is an individual, the Publisher shall be at least eighteen (18) years of age. If the Publisher is under the age of eighteen (18), parental or legal guardian consent is required from a person who is at least eighteen (18) years of age for the registration to Monetiseâ€™s service. If the Publisher is yet to reach the age of eighteen (18) and has registered to Monetiseâ€™s service without the aforementioned consent then the Publisher's registration will be deemed invalid.

5.3 The Publisher warrants that any information provided to Monetise about itself and its website is factually correct, complete, and submitted in due order. The Publisher shall immediately notify Monetise of any changes regarding its personal information given to Monetise by updating its information on the Website. If the Publisher is a limited company then the Publisher must provide Monetise with its registered company name, company number, registered office address, trading address (if different) and VAT registration number (if applicable).

5.4 The Publisher warrants that the rights to all information and content on the Publisher's website belong to the Publisher. If the Publisher does not own the rights to the information and/or content then it warrants that it has obtained the previous consent to its publication from the rightful owner, including all necessary licences and consents. The Publisher also warrants that all information and content on the Publisher's website does not breach any rights of third parties, including intellectual property rights, and that such information and content is not offensive, prohibited or questionable in any way. Examples of such content include (but not limited to) pornography, xenophobic or hateful content, as well as adware, spyware, Peer2Peer and file sharing.

5.5 The Publisher shall not generate, or contribute to the act of generating Artificial Traffic to Linked Websites. This includes, but is not limited to, Publisher self-generated Leads.

5.6 The Publisher shall immediately inform Monetise of any known or suspected wrongful use of a Publisher Program, the Publisher's links to Linked Websites operating as a part of Monetise's service, or of any improper use of Monetise's service whatsoever.

5.7 The Publisher shall provide a clear and unambiguous notice to visitors to the Linked Website that it may earn remuneration for recommending a company's product on its Linked Website.

5.8 Notwithstanding the provisions of Schedule I (Data Protection), the Publisher shall co-operate fully and in a timely manner with any reasonable request from time to time of any auditor (whether internal or external) of Monetise Media and at the expense of the Publisher to provide documents, or to procure the provision of documents, relating to the Agreement, and to provide, or to procure the provision of, any oral or written explanation relating to the same.

(6) OBLIGATIONS OF THE PUBLISHER: For email broadcasts

6.1 All email data collected for third party marketing communications has been lawfully obtained and is compliant with The Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations (2003) (PECR).

6.2 The receiver must have the opportunity to opt out both when they first collect the details, and in every email sent.

ICO Guide to Direct Marketing 6th September 2013. Page 31 (126) Organisations must give the customer the chance to opt out - both when they first collect the details, and in every email or text. Organisations should not assume that all customers will be happy to get marketing texts or emails in future, and cannot rely on the soft opt-in rule unless they provided a clear opportunity to opt out first. (127) It must be simple to opt out. When first collecting a customer's details, this should be part of the same process (e.g. online forms should include a prominent opt-out box, and staff taking down details in person should specifically offer an opt-out).

6.3 Unless otherwise stated email from line, headers and footers must reference the original source of data capture as the sender, or reference a sender that was established at point of registration as a 3rd party. The client/advertiser must not be the only reference in the from line and must be second to sender i.e. From: XYZ list - Advertiser ABC. To comply with the below, recognition of the "Sender" is essential and required by any data controller who receives the data.

ICO Guide to Direct Marketing 6th September 2013. Page 20 (76) PECR specifically requires that the customer has notified the sender that they consent to messages from them: On a strict interpretation, indirect consent would not meet this test - as the customer did not directly notify the sender, they notified someone else.

6.4 3rd parties that receive data for marketing purposes must have been specifically named at the original registration point. This is required by any data controller who receives the data.

ICO Guide to Direct Marketing 6th September 2013. Page 21 (79) Indirect consent may therefore be valid if that organisation was specifically named, or if the consent described a specific category of organisations and it clearly falls within that description.

6.5 You must carry out due diligence and check that any data provided is compliant and that you can provide full information if challenged. This is required by any data controller who receives the data.

ICO Guide to Direct Marketing 6th September 2013. Page 22 (83) It is not acceptable to rely on assurances of indirect consent without undertaking proper due diligence, in order to demonstrate consent if challenged. Organisations must ensure that consent was validly obtained, that it was reasonably recent, and that it clearly extended to them or organisations fitting their description.

6.6 Information to provide for a look up to prove consent was obtained.

ICO Guide to Direct Marketing 6th September 2013. Page 24 (95) Organisations should therefore make sure that they keep clear records of exactly what someone has consented to. In particular, they should record the date of consent, the method of consent, who obtained consent, and exactly what information was provided to the person consenting.

6.7 You take full responsibility for complaints to regulatory bodies, including the ICO and claims or complaints from recipients or data subjects resulting from data you have provided, used or selected for use for Monetise Media campaigns.

6.8 You take full liability and shall indemnify Monetise Media and our Clients in full and on demand for any claims, damages awarded or fines from any regulatory body including the ICO, resulting from any complaint or judgement of noncompliance to PECR.

6.9 Monetise Media reserve the right to take legal action for damages, financial or to reputation, resulting from non-compliant data provided or used by partners for Monetise Media campaigns.

8.2 Subject to clause 8.5, Remuneration will only be made if by the last day of the month prior to the payment date, the Publisher is due an amount of at least fifty (£50) pounds and only if Monetise has received full payment for these Transactions. Any amount the Publisher is due that is less than fifty (£50) pounds will be carried forward to the next payment date and will be included in the amount to be paid out at the next payment date, provided again that the minimum amount due is at least fifty (£50) by the end of the month prior to that payment date.

8.3 Payment to the Publisher will be made direct to the Publisher's bank account, as specified by the Publisher on the Website, detailing the name and branch of the bank, sort code and account number of the Publisher.

8.5 If the Publisher chooses to receive a wire payment and the Remuneration due is less than one thousand pounds (£1,000), this will be carried forward to the next payment and will be included in the amount to be paid at the next payment date, provided again that the minimum amount due is at least one thousand pounds (£1,000) by the end of the month prior to that payment date.
